About
Luca Citi is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of neural engineering, neuroprosthetics, and brain-machine interfaces, whose work has significantly advanced the field of sensorimotor restoration for amputees. His most celebrated contribution — the landmark 2010 study on double nerve intraneural interface implants in human amputees for robotic hand control — has garnered nearly 400 citations and represents a transformative milestone in demonstrating that peripheral nervous system signals can directly and reliably drive sophisticated cybernetic prostheses. Building on foundational work from 2006 and 2008 characterizing longitudinal intrafascicular peripheral interfaces (tfLIFE), Citi helped establish the technical and clinical viability of bidirectional neural-prosthetic links that restore both motor command and sensory feedback to limb-loss patients. His 2011 research broke new ground by combining cortical EEG signals with peripheral nerve recordings to improve robotic hand control accuracy, highlighting his integrative approach to neural interfacing. Beyond prosthetics, Citi has contributed to broader brain-machine interface theory, including frameworks for matching interface performance to application requirements — work with relevance even to space exploration contexts. Collectively, his research has shaped modern neuroprosthetics, earning him substantial recognition within the neural engineering community.
